The Homestead Law.


The Legislature ought not to foget
to submit to the people at the next
election proposed amendment to tho
Constitution abolishing tho homestead
exemption.
There are many reasons why It
should be abolished; it is dishonest to
begin with; it is an easy house of
refuge for dishonest traders. It may
sound like a platitude, but it is none
the less true, that no people can per-
mancntly prosper who habitually set
at defiance tho common principle of
honesty in the ordinary transactions of
life.
There arc also other reasons why
the homestead law should be abolished.
1t deprives tho poor man Of his credit.
The small farmer: who owns nine
hundred dollars worth of land and
four hundred dollars worth of per-
sonal property, has no standing in the
commercial world, for the simple rea-
son that the arm Of the law Is not
long enough to reach him, If after
having been trusted he should become
disposed to act dishonesty. The law
deprives of credit the very class OF
people who most need credit--the
small proprietors. It necessitates the
lien law and long prices, from be-
meath the shadow Of which no indus
try has ever struggled.

Local Taxation.

The Governor recommends the pas
sage of an Act providing for local tax
alton to extend the school term. The
recommendation should be .'spigeon-
holed."
Tho whole doctrine Of local taAation
Is wrong to begin with; It is fuada-
mentally at variance with all tho prin-
ciples Of tho common law. 1t has
been the boast Of the English-speaking
race for centuries that taxation could
be imposed upon the people only by
tho popular branch Of the Legislature.
In England no revenue bill can origi-
nate in the House of Lords, nor can
the Senate of the United States, nor
the Senate Of any State in tho Union
originate such a bill. The power to
levy taxes is tho prerogative of the
House Of Representatives. alone. The
principle has passed into the enduring
form of a constitutional guarantee.
The Legislature should not shirk it's
duty; If In Its judgment tho taxes for
school purposes should be raised, lot
1t raise them. 1t is for this that tho
mombers are elected and sent to Col
umbia. The local taxation dodge is
ono OF tho devices Of time-serving
age. It is too much to have tho great
right of property committed to tho
fiEal wisdom of township mob.

Prof. Lowanda,s Grand Fe,.,vo,

(-Nesos and Courier, November 18th, 1887 )
The Academy of Music was packed
from parquct to gallory last night to
witness the second performance of
Prof Lowanda's company. Every
part of tho varied programme was
faithfully carried out to tho great
satisfaction Of the entire audience. and
the numerous tricks performed were
frequently applauded. One of the
best parts of the performance last
night was the "Talking Human Skull"
which was both a wonder and an
amusement to everybody. The COM
pany is q good one and deserves the
patronage Of the public everywhere,
A largo number Of beautiful presents
were given away, and some Of the
silverware was handsome and elegant.
Prof Lowanda is exceedingly exact in
carrying out his promises, and he said
last night that if he could purchase a
COW and also horse and buggy, he
would give them away tonight In the
same manner as tho other presents
have been distributed. The price of
tickets has been reduced to % cents to
any part of the theatre. A good house
will doubtless greet Prof. Lowanda
both at the matinee and also tonight.
The gifts last night were of the finest
quality. Mr.. w. NJ. Hill drew the set
of walnut furniture; Mr.. M. B. Harri-
son drew tho silver Ice pitcher; Mr..
T. e. Dalwich drew the silver fruit
stand, and the lady's gold watch fell
to tho lot OF Miss Mary Caucions.

ccssfully, but to the amusement of his

In their lonely walks in tho dark.

alternative which is being pressed upon
the Legislature, to give the thing
away, be seriously entertained. The
State has spent $176, 900 OH this enter
prise, and has learned that 1t ought
never to have undertaken tho thing.
1t is too much, however, to ask tho

Jano Evans, the wife of Hathaway
Evans, colorcd man living on tho
place of @. ID, Evans, Esq, has had
FIVE children inside of twelve months.
About ten months ago she gave birth
TO four children, all of whom died

(CoSun.6ia Record.)
The request of tho directors of the
penitentiary, seconded by Governor
Richardson, that the Legislature make
an annual appropriation for the main
tenanco Of that institution, ought cer-
tainly to be adopted. It is the only
business-like way of conducting the
institution. 1t will lend indeed to In
creased efficiency and economy in it's
management. For a board OF State
officers to borrow money in order to
sustain tho State prison is something
so much at variance with safe prac-
tice, with business principles. til at the
Legislature should at once interviews
to obviate the necessity which has in
duced It.

Tho State has already spent, in
money and labor, about $4,000 on
the canal. Now 1t is proposed, by
Columbia, that the State turn over the
canal cana to the city dy ard and give her, in addi-
tion, about $50 900 In convict labor;
In return for which tho city is to allow
the State l .ooo-horse power. 1t is not
| stated, and we do not know, how
much, horse power tho State has
already.
The proposition appears to us, from
the limited knowledge we have of the
subject, about as follows:
Total estimated cost of the
canal when completed. -. ..94z5, 900
The State has already spent. .$175, 900
The Strte is asked to spend fur
Total by the State. -. 1925, 900
Columbia proposes to expend. 100000
Total cost. ..$425, 900
According to Major Lees estimate.
the canal completed will have 10000
horse power. So that while the State
spends 1926, 900 and tho city 5000, 900,
the city Is to have nine-tenths of the
water power and the State only one
tenth.
The price of water power at the
Augusta canal is furnished to lessees
at $6 per horse power. If that should
be tho price at the Columbia canal,
tho State would derive, say, $4,000 q
year and the city $45, 900. See? Tho
State oxpends $225,00O and gets So, 900
ayesr IN moo6 borse power; the city OK
ponds 100000 and gets $45,000 in
horse power.
This is pretty bold proposition.

A Cure for the Currant Worm,

A correspondent of the Country Gen

who has near the centre of his garden
a single row of bushes, about four rods
long. To prevent the limbs from being
broken by snow or other causes; and to
give himself better chance to work
among them, he had, long before the
advent of the worm, been in the habit
of tying them up in the fall. When
the worms came he was astonished to
lind his bushes entirely free from them
while his neighbors' were overrun For
this he could find no reason, hut con,in
ued his practice of tying, &C., but with
more care, hoeing the earth entirely
away from the bushes aud removing It
some distance; also from about the
stems 3 or inches deep, and with a

an INSCRIPTIONS Monop-
DIV.

The American Cotton Oil Trust
Company is one of the largest and
N ost INSCRIPTIONS monopolies in
the country. By the most tyranical
means it has obtained control of
80 cotton seed oil mills in the South
and turns out 80 per cent. of al the
cotton seed oil produced in the IN
ion. Whenever any independent
mill declined to join the combination
the policy of the syndicate has been
to threaten to establish or act
ually start an opposition mill in the
neighborhood and buying up all the
seed at figures which the local mill
could not afford to pay, thus running
the latter. Having once gained con-
troll of the business, it began straight
way to plumber the planters and the
public Last season the price of cot.
ton seed on the levee at New Orleans
and Memphis was as high as SIG per
ton. Then it was brought down to
Sill by combination of the crushers
then to $40, 50, and finally to So
when the planters began to complain
loudly. At last it decided to pay
only S. ton for seed on the river
bank, and in view Of cost OF hauling
it there, little or no recompense was
left to the grower. The planters of
the Mississippi and Louisians, it is
estimated, could not get more than
60 cents ton for their seed. While
the price of seed has been down in
this way; that of the oil has been
raised from 37a cents in 1885 to 40
and Al cents per gallon for prime
summer yellow at present.
At last the planters of Louisiana
and Mississippi have organized in OPP
position to this unprincipled monopoly.
1t is proposed that all planters shall
refuse to sell seed to the mills for one
year, forcing the latter to remain idle,
and thus crushing the crusher. By
this arrangement the planters will
lose little, for if the seed is used as
fertilizer it will be worth at least the
insignificant sum offered them by the
mills. Of course, the growers are too
numerous for all to remain in the COM
bination against quiet offer of better
prices by the monopoly; but since the
organization was formed the other day
the Cotton Trust certificates have fall
len from 81 to 81 l 8 in this market.
